JP8324/9324 Scripture and Tradition on Human Life and Healthcare

This subject’s goal is twofold: to enable the student to account for the respect of human life and healthcare from the Word of God and the Catholic tradition, and to appropriate that vision into practice. Particular attention will be given to the Catholic Health Australia Code of Ethical Standards for Catholic Health and Aged Care Services in Australia. Students will be equipped with a body of this knowledge which will enable them to undertake professional work in the field and serve as a basis for further learning.
